Emily do you have any idea what is causing the lack of sleep?

I'm not sure. It is probably a combination of the back and hip pain, heartburn, and an overall restless feeling. I can't settle down. I can't sit, stand, or lie down for long. I feel like I have to move constantly, but moving hurts because of my hips. It is very frustrating. I am worried if I don't get some rest I will not have the strength and energy I will need for labor, but I just can't sleep.

We can't afford it.
It isn't just sciatic pain, but joint and muscle pain too.

know anyone that does massage that you could barter for?
I have a coworker/friend who is like 2 credits shy of a massage degree and we trade stuff all the time for her to massage me.
I'm sorry you are so miserable. no fun.

I got 5 hours of sleep last night!! Yippee!! It doesn't seem like much compared to my usual 8-10 hours, but it is twice as much as I have been getting recently. I actually had the energy to take a shower, unload the dishwasher, and do a load of baby laundry.
Now I'm going to eat some lunch and try to take a nap. Even if I don't sleep I am going to make myself lie down for an hour.

Congratulations!
I was thinking of you last night. Can you stand in the shower to ease your muscles? Also, we have a home made rice bag, that when we heat it up, it helps with muscle relaxation.

Glad you got to sleep!!!!

I've read that it's not advisable in the 3rd trimester.
My doc had me taking Benadryl 'round the clock (every 4-6 hrs.) during my last few weeks to help take the edge off my PUPPPS.
Tylenol PM is OK though, isn't it? Or not?

I REALLY want to have this baby this weekend. Chris and I keep talking to him and trying to convince him to come out by tempting him with promises of lots of kisses and cuddles, plenty of yummy mommy milk, and fluffy cloth diapers, but it hasn't worked yet. LOL

What is your birth plan? Are you waiting for things to go natural? Or are you planning on inducing if he does not show up soon?

Here is a list of Natural Ways to Induce Labor
I've tried the webbing between thumb and index finger. I may have massage friend come this weekend and do a few other points with a nice massage to boot. She has avoided downward pressure on my shoulders and low back since it can also cause contractions in some women.
But, in reality.. the babes will arrive when they arrive and I'm ok with that. For now. Ask me again in 2 wks!!

Emily all those things you are experiencing are part of the end, just hang in there as much as you can and try and enjoy yourself and do things for yourself because it sure gets hard once babe comes along :) Praying for you as I know how hard those last weeks can be!
